Mornings at this Outer Banks local favorite can't be beat. Located in the Pony Island motel, the eponymous, country kitchen style diner serves breakfast and brunch the Southern way-- a.k.a piled high with cheesy grits, hush puppies, and biscuits galore. Regional dishes like the crab and swiss cheese omelette and blackened blue fish are must-trys when in town.
